Another great lecture from Dawkins!

3. Science teacher dissed evolution

This type of thing is absolutely mind-bottling... How could that have gone on for so long?!

Not to mention how he isn't in prison for branding his students... He should have been sacked by now for sure...

(yes mind bottling, you know, where your thoughts get all trapped and you can't think, like in a bottle :P)

4. Teen's death blamed on faith healing

Comment #196349 by MarcLindenberg on June 19, 2008 at 6:36 pm

That's a terrible story :(

It's so frustrating that children are just forced to do what their parents think is right.

The kids probably didn't have ANY choice what-so-ever in their healthcare...

The parents probably don't feel bad at all either, because their kids are in a "better place"

A hole in the ground is better than the deluded life they were being forced into apparently.

Man, McGrath's book was terrible... I read it expecting maybe some good arguments, but man it sucked.

That's the only way to put it. It sucked.

6. Rapture site sends unbelievers their last chance ... via email

Wow, sounds like a con I would devise... but they might actually have systems in place... I am confident enough that I would just make the website :P Screw actually making it work...

7. Astronomers find batch of 'super-Earths'

Comment #193881 by MarcLindenberg on June 16, 2008 at 7:32 am

Wow, so now when Earth is dying we will have a place to go :P

It's pretty cool to think that there might be lots of Earth-like planets out there...

FGM is ever so terrible... The thought of it runs shivers up and down my spine...

9. Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab

Comment #191083 by MarcLindenberg on June 10, 2008 at 7:38 am

Very interesting, I hope that evolves into a something that is useful to our argument. Not sure how accepted that would be from the creationist world view...

12. Holiday in Hellmouth

Comment #189888 by MarcLindenberg on June 7, 2008 at 1:15 pm

Very well written article!

And I totally agree thewhitepearl. I have a few friends who have a bunch of stories similar to that. It's very annoying how people just believe them too! No speculation, they just say "wow, that's quite something"

The lot of them are bs.

13. Opponents of Evolution Adopting a New Strategy

Comment #188683 by MarcLindenberg on June 4, 2008 at 11:33 am

it bottles the mind to try to grasp how someone denies evolution.
Really!?

*yes mind bottling... you know, where your thoughts get trapped, like in a bottle. :P

14. Richard Dawkins Interview on TVOntario

Comment #181805 by MarcLindenberg on May 18, 2008 at 9:39 am

hahaha, that video makes me ever so happy :D
(but at the same time angry!)

It just goes to show how little of an argument religion has! It is so weak! I want to see Dawkins debate somebody who is acually intellectual and who has a point!

Every Dawkins debate I have seen is just Dawkins destroying everything the opposition has to say. Is there no religious person has an argument?

Either way, it's VERY reassuring!

Comment #179771 by AnnRKeye

I recently heard, if I remember correctly, that Dawkins thinks science can prove God does not exist.

I don't believe Dawkins thinks that science can prove that god doesn't exist, in the God Delusion I think he makes that clear. He refers to the teapot example (suppose there is a teapot orbiting somewhere between Earth and Mars, but it's so super tiny that our most powerful telescopes cannot pick it up ext... You cannot prove that there isn't a teapot there, but you almost certainly know there isn't) , and the aptly named chapter Why God Almost Certainly Doesn't Exist.
So he shows that the chances that there actually is a god are really slim, but there is always chance, because you don't know.
